Our tips:

- Ride again in the evening
- Come early
Stardust Racers
Stardust Racers is the big roller coaster of Celestial Park, the central area of Universal Epic Universe. Two trains race against each other at the same time, each on its own track. In 2025 the ride won Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Award for best new roller coaster.
The concept
You board a comet and race through the starry sky above Celestial Park. The ride has around 1,500 metres of track. Music and colourful lighting turn the ride into a cosmic race.
The Experience
Two launches take you up to around 100 km/h. The highest point is about 40 metres up, with great views over the park. The highlight is the "Celestial Spin": a moment when the trains cross each other upside down, in a sea of colour and music.
Discover Stardust Racers
Leave everything in a locker
Loose items aren't allowed on the ride. You walk through a metal detector, and there are lockers at the attraction.
Ride again in the evening
The ride has no lighting along the track. In the dark, the illuminated trains look like comets shooting across the sky.
Come early
Stardust Racers is one of the most popular attractions in Epic Universe. The queue is usually shortest in the first hour.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.22 metres tall. Child Swap is available: parents take turns without having to queue twice. With a Universal Express Pass (sold separately) you skip the regular queue. Please note: the free Express Unlimited offered by a number of Universal hotels is not valid in Epic Universe.
The star of Celestial Park
Stardust Racers is the roller coaster you mustn't miss in Epic Universe. Combine the ride with a stroll past the fountains of Celestial Park and end the day at the evening show Celestial Goodnight.
